White Sox at Red Sox, ppd., rain

Chicago was up 5-2, in the top of the fourth, when the tarp was brought out for the second time. After a delay of almost four hours, the game was called, and wiped from the books.

After allowing only a double to the first nine batters, Matt Clement had faltered, allowing seven hits and one walk to the next ten batters. He also apparently had trouble breaking 90 with his fastball. Not so good.

The article said Labor Day is the only day, but since the Sox would then have to play 30 games in 30 days they would vote no (this according to Damon) The other option is after the season if it is necessary.
